I left the battery more than a week in my camera and now I changed new battery but still not turn on What shall I do? It was working before even I keep battery for long periods.

Answers :

Your problem may be due to corrosion on the\015\012battery contacts inside the camera\015\012which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the\015\012camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the\015\012batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with\015\012a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush,\015\012steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen\015\012into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of\015\012the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears\015\012the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your camera may have\015\012a problem that requires professional repair.

Broken? My camera has suddenly stopped working. It will take a picture and then freeze on that picture. The red light keeps blinking. Nothing will work after that. I can't even turn it off with out taking out the batteries. After I replace the batteries and turn on again the picture is gone. I tried different batteries but had the same problem. Please help!

Check out the memory card... try taking pics without the memory card in and see if it is still doing the same thing ...

I have a SVP T-100 camcorder which all of a sudden stopped working. What is happening is it keeps showing a red light indicating there is no power in the battery and when you connect to the mains it turns green but when you try switching on it goes red again and stays this way!! I have tried a new battery in it and the same thing...the fact that it wont even work from the mains indicates something wrong with the powering getting to the battery or camcorder... Please help. Thanks Maxine xx

Change Batteries....? Hi there, I have owned the Canon A 95 for almost 2 years now. Since a couple of weeks back its not been working at all. It keeps saying "Change Batteries" even after i put in a new set of batteries. After a few seconds of turning it on, it says Change Batteries and shuts off. Triedputting in new batteris a few times but still no luck. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Ok.. did you guys try a reset? Just remove the batteries, wait for 60 seconds then put them back in.. that should reset the camera.. ...

Cyber-shot T2 Hello This is probably a long shot but I have had my Sony cybershot T2 for about 1 month now and about 2 weeks ago it just died on me and it won't turn on. I didn't drop it, there is a not a single scratch on it, i have charged the battery 2 full but it just wont turn on. At the beginning it would flash as if it was turning on and then stop. Now it won't even do that. I don't know what to do as I loved that camera and it's very new. It worked perfectly before. If you could help me

Hello Henrietta,\015\012\015\012Your problem is exactly my T2's problem. I returned it to the vendor and I was informed that the board is damaged and possible reason is it was dropped. Just like you, I didn't drop my T2. I wish there w ...

Resolution olympus d-560 ...when i set the resolution to sq1:1024x768 (76 frames) press "OK" and turn the camera off it resets back to hq:2048x1536 (20 frames), it keeps doing this even if i shoot some pictures and then turn it off. could it be the memory card ? the batteries are new and everything else works fine, the camera is about 3 years old. Rob L

No, it resets itself because it is an older camera.Most older cameras will, once turned off, return to their original settings. So, if you want it to be 76 frames, you will have to do that each time you turn on your camera. ...

My sony cyber-shot DSC-H55 worked great until recently. It won't turn on or ANYTHING. I had to buy a replacement charger since during my move I lost it.

My camera will turn on and sometime it doesn't even when i put new batteries in it and i have cleaned the the battery parts and battery for good connection. I have to take the batteries out and put 'em in and it only sometime comes on.
it still didn't work but even if I put new batteries in it doesn't work just takine the batteries out and put 'em back in only makes it work randomly and the battery on the negative side seems lower than the other like they're unleveled. there wasnt any corrosio

If I understood correctly ..it a 2 batteries camera ...and the reason they are not leveled is cause at one point they was wrongly inserted and forced the cover door to close...and the contact blades inside just bended in on the side of the negative . ...

I have a canon SD1100 I just purchased and after a few minutes the camera will not shut off, the power button won't work and I have to open the battery cover to turn it off. Somehow this completely drains the battery too every time even if it was just charged. Also the camera turns itself on by itself about 10 minutes after you put the battery in it and once again you can't turn it off. I got another battery and the same thing happens. Otherwise it works fine.

Olympus MJU 400 Digital camera keeps turning off - battery is fully charged. Camera won't even stay on long enough to take a picture.

The camera that I have is an red HP A730 with 7 megapixels. I've had it for about 3 years and it's always worked just fine. But, recently I lost my memory card. My camera still worked with out it. Anyway, the other day I tried to turn my camera on and it didn't work for some reason. I thought it was the batteries, so I changed them, but the light indicating that it's on flashed for a second and then turned off. Now, even though I'm using new batteries, my camera will not turn on. I will admit, I

No matter what I do, my camera keeps giving me a "Battery Depleted" message whenever I try to turn it on. It's a Pentax Optio E40, and I've only had it a couple of weeks. It was working fine, but then one day when I tried to turn it on, I got this error. I replaced the batteries, but the error still came. I've checked the orientation of the batteries, tried re-inserting them, etc, but nothing seems to work. Please help! Thank you!

I had the same problem and checked the manual. If you haven't used the camera in a while and there were either no batteries or dead batteries in it, put in new batteries, keep it off, and WAIT a few minutes. Then try to turn it on. This helped with P ...

I bought my canon S5IS 2 years ago.For these 2 years it worked fine but now it is showing "Low battery problem" even when the battery is full charged.I also bought new batteries but that also in vain.I found one workaround but it seems to work for very short time. Just open the battery cover,take out all batteries and then insert ,then turn on,it MAY work for 10 sec.Please suggest what may be wrong and what to do.

Make sure that the battery terminals in your camera are clean (rub them with a pencil eraser, q-tip or micro fiber cloth). Dirty terminals can cause poor contact with your batteries, therefore, impacting there performance.Also, if you ar ...

My C743 keeps using up batteries. even new ones will be dead next day without even a picture being taken, I put a thin card between the battery cover and batteries and this has prevented battery drain but even lately I can not get camera to work with new batteries right after installation.

Pentax Optio E30. This camera is eating through the batteries. Even when the camera is turned off the batteries are being drained. I have tried rechargeable batteries and new heavy duty batteries and even these drain within a matter of 30 minutes or so and at times it will not even work with these. Do you know what is wrong?

Hi recently bought a fujiilm ax200 and i used regular Duracell batteries just to test out the camera. Then I purchased rechargeable batteries and the camera for working fine for the five minutes i took photos with it.
When trying to upload the photos onto the computer the camera would not turn on. I plugged it into the laptop with the usb and it just wouldn't work. Even after I unplugged it the camera is not working, i tested other batteries and the rechargeable ones are fully charges and work

No pwer I am a high school photography teacher who inherited 20 Canon PowerShot S1 IS cameras (going on three years old). I noticed a few last year that didn't turn on even when brand new fresh batteries were put in. The battery chambers are clean with no apparent damage. I am now up to 8 cameras with this problem. They won't even power up when hooked up to the computer for downloading. i even changed the date/time battery just to see but didn't work. Any ideas?
